Overview

KEYNOTE * Three pigs find a friend in wolf's clothing in this full-colour chapter book. Once, there were three pigs who lived in a brick house. No, not those pigs. These are the Pygg brothers: James, Marvin, and Lester. And when they get a visit from a wolf named Wilfong, what you think is going to happen doesn't. And what you think couldn't possibly happen actually might. But one thing that will definitely happen is that everyone is going to learn how to make wolf pie--and you know what the main ingredient in that is, right? (It's probably not what you're thinking.) AUTHOR Brenda Seabrooke's most recent book, Cemetery Street (Holiday House), was a nominee for the Edgar Award and the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance Award for best young adult book. She lives on an island in Englewood, Florida. Liz Callen studied at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. She began her career in advertising, designing animated commercials, and for the last 25 years she has been creating illustrations for children. She lives in Washington State. *
